With access to over 5000T of medical data, spanning medical records, images, and pathology data, you'll have the tools needed to drive impactful research forward.

·     Publication Excellence: Join a team that prides itself on academic excellence. Our laboratory has contributed over 180 papers to esteemed journals such as Nature, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Mental Health, PNAS, Medical Image Analysis, IEEE TMI, and more, showcasing our commitment to advancing knowledge in the field.

·     International Collaboration: Engage with our global network of researchers through our participation in an international consortium on brain development from infancy onwards. By collaborating with multiple cohorts worldwide, we aim to generate insights that will inform strategies for optimizing brain health across diverse populations.

Research Assistant Professors

   Research Assistant Professors (RAPs) are independent faculty members. We are seeking motivated researchers who can lead a small team and secure external research funding in the fields of Human Brain Mapping or AI in Medicine. These positions are supported by central funding from the university and the Mental Health Research Centre (MHRC). RAPs are expected to work closely with MHRC and apply advanced techniques to address challenging problems in mental health.

Key Responsibilities: 

•               Conduct cutting-edge research in bioinformatics and mental health, with a focus on brain research, neuroimaging, and AI-driven health solutions. 

•               Develop and apply machine learning and computational models to analyze large-scale health datasets. 

•               Publish high-impact research in leading scientific journals and present findings at international conferences. 

•               Collaborate with faculty members, clinicians, and industry partners on interdisciplinary research projects. 

•               Supervise postgraduate students and contribute to teaching and curriculum development. 

•               Seek external research funding to support independent and collaborative projects. 

Qualifications and Requirements: 

•               PhD in NeuroImaging, Psychology, Biomedical Informatics, Computational Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related discipline. 

•               Strong publication record in high-impact journals. 

•               Expertise in bioinformatics, neuroscience, or deep learning. 

•               Experience with large-scale biomedical datasets, neuroimaging (e.g., MRI, fMRI, DTI), or multi-omics analysis is highly desirable. 

•               Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment. 

•               Strong communication and interpersonal skills. 

•               Min one year postdoctoral training experience

The position offers a competitive package and benefits. We will apply for VISA for applicants.
